About Duck leg
Duck leg is a flavorful cut of poultry often used in diverse cuisines, such as French, Chinese, and Vietnamese dishes. Known for its rich taste and tender texture, duck leg is frequently roasted, braised, or confit-style prepared. Nutritionally, it is a good source of high-quality protein, supporting muscle repair and growth. Duck leg also provides essential vitamins and minerals, including iron, zinc, and B vitamins, which contribute to energy production and immune health. However, it tends to be higher in fat content compared to chicken or turkey, particularly in its skin. While much of this fat is unsaturated and heart-healthy, moderation is key, especially for those managing cholesterol. Duck leg is a versatile ingredient and can be paired with vibrant herbs, spices, and citrus for balanced dishes that showcase both its savory profile and nutritional value.
